Product Description

Amazon.com Product Reviews

With so many other hassles to worry about, a gate should be worry-free and easy. Using the simplicity-by-design approach, the Evenflo SimpleStep pressure gate makes cordoning off stairways and rooms easy as cake. The pressure-mounted gate takes 20 minutes to install with no tools needed and is much easier than its wall-anchored counterparts. Once you install the gate, the most difficult part is over. The walk through door employs a squeeze, slide, and swing action that can be done with one hand. The red/green gate indicator tells you when the gate is properly locked. Be sure to measure your doorways before purchasing--the Evenflo gate is made for either 29-inch or 39.5-inch (with the included extension panel) openings, and the pressure mounts give you a tiny bit of slack. The Evenflo SimpleStep pressure gate is 30.5 inches in height, and the manufacturer recommended age use for children is six months to two years. --Scott Teal

1.0 out of 5 stars Gate did not fit 34 inch door opening (see details below), August 21, 2007

By	Ms. Bluz - See all my reviews

Here's a word of warning to anyone who wants to use this gate: the online product details say that the gate fits 29 inches through 37.5, but the assembly instructions show that the gate without the extension fits 29 to 33.5 inches and with the extension fits 35 to 37.5 inches, thus there is an 1.5 inch gap (33.5 to 35 inches)that isn't covered.

I tried to get it to fit my 34 inch door opening but the pressure points were restricted from unscrewing that far because it maxed out at 33.5 inches or maybe a little less. I tried using small blocks to narrow the area but that did not work well. This less than desirable workaround caused the gate to keep falling down, so I had to return it.

My question is: why design a gate that has an 1.5 inch gap in coverage???

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for, August 4, 2006

By	Dwynnie (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This really is a great gate--I disagree with the 1 star reviews. I bought this gate to keep our dogs contained on our deck and it is perfect. It is the only gate that is tall enough but not too tall, is pressure mounted, and is metal. Yes, there is a bar at the bottom, but the only solution to there being a bar is the ramp of the First Years Hands Free gate--and a foot pedal to release the door won't do me much good with two big dogs who jump a bit--they would figure it out! Also, the lock/release is a bit stiff, but I would rather it be a little difficult than too easy!

Over all, I do not feel that this product deserves the bad reviews. This is a good gate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice gate, July 22, 2006

By	J. Perry (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I believe the other reviewer is mistaken. I too thought that the gate was bent at the top when we got one (two of them actually). Then I realized that the gate is manufactured like this on purpose. By having the top of the gate be wider than the bottom you can force the gate into the opening which keeps the top of the gate very snug in the doorway. I really like this feature. Since there is no top bar (when the gate is open) this also means the gate has no wobble when it's open. This and the version of the gate with the opener on the bottom (that you step on) are quick solid gates that I would recommend. I will, however, point out that the other review is right, the instructions do not make it clear that gate being "too wide" at the top is by design (and quite a good design I might add).
